How can you throw twenty years away
What about your kids and the words they pray
I promise to be just like I was before
But you can't hold a man when he's holding out for more

I found another letter in your shirt
I can't even tell ya what's left to hurt
From the top of my head to the soles of my shoes
Guess some women win, some women lose

You've been talking in your sleep
Every secret that you keep
And I know you got a woman you've been dreaming of
Every second of the night
I've been holding on so tight
'Cause I know I'm not the woman you've been dreaming of

I picked up your clothes from the laundry mat
Brushed back the feather from your hat
Washed all the dishes and swept up the floors
But you can't keep a man when he's looking for the door
Anymore

You've been talking in your sleep
Every secret that you keep
And I know you got a woman you've been dreaming of
Every second of the night
I've been holding on so tight
'Cause I know I'm not the woman you've been dreaming of

When you're calling out her name
I'll be taking all the blame
'Cause I know I'm not the woman that you really love
You really love
Been dreaming of
You really love
